[tlhIngan Hol] With regards to invectives

[André Müller]

I think the difference between them is that one is just an exclamation and
cannot be used as a part of a sentence, while the other is essentially a
noun that can be used to describe someone, which can be used as a subject,
object, etc. and can potentially receive suffixes.
